Seems like a I have the same issue. Had had in the past some rare lockups but since Hardy 2.6.24 (and I guess since update to .1 - or -19 - even more) I've had more frequent lock-ups. Hard drive led starts blinking fast as for a low-level routine and nothing happens, complete freeze, only sys-alt-b works and in general when I reboot I happen to have a kernel panic for out of sync. Nothing works then included power button, have to take out the battery of my laptop !
Today happened twice, for some reason when opening Trash folder in nautilus and trying to run the script to have root rights in the window to restore a resilient file. Was able to "reproduce" (actually not intentionally since I never imagined this could be the cause of it). The other times seemed more linked to use of Firefox. Is it related to acpi, should i set it off ? -- Hardy Freeze/Lockup with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic up to 2.6.24-19-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239021 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
